16 Unique Pinterest Party Ideas

Pinterest is a massive collection of images and party ideas that has so much inspiration to draw from. But how can we find party ideas that are unique rather than the same thing everyone else is doing? Let Peerspace help with this curated list of Pinterest party ideas that are guaranteed to be as unique as you are!

1. Use edible tablescapes that are both tasty and beautiful

The decorations are some of the most important elements of any party. But have you ever considered blending the snacks with the decor by using edible tablescapes? There are a few ways to do this. One way is to use chocolates, frosting, and other sweets. You can add some beautifully sculpted Godiva chocolates to spots that let guests admire their beauty even as they snack. Cakes with sculpture-like decor and edible flower arrangements are another way to add beauty to your food.

2. Choose a unique party venue

Pinterest party ideas also include some of the finest venue options we’ve ever seen. From mountain yoga retreats to New Year’s under-the-stars parties, you’ll find endless inspiration here. The only better place to find great party venue ideas is with Peerspace, the nation’s leading online marketplace for special event venue rentals!

3. Create a tasty choco-cuterie board

Charcuterie has always been a favorite of party planners because you can create an elegant snack arrangement with little effort using a food board! But why not ditch the meat and cheese for something unique, like a choco-cuterie board? As a Pinterest party idea, choco-cuterie boards are as unique as your taste in chocolate! Mix and match truffle stuffed chocolates, dark chocolate flakes, mild white chocolate rounds, and more on your board.

4. Use unique themes for special events

One way to make an event truly memorable is by choosing a theme that you wouldn’t expect to see tied to that kind of gathering! We’ve all heard of rustic weddings but how about a rustic chic Easter brunch? Or you could make your luxury outdoor gathering a boho picnic party, with low tables and cushions for seating!

Use these elegant picnic brunch ideas to take your Pinterest party outdoors in total style.

5. Have a vintage wedding cake made

But here’s an idea that’s really exciting since it taps into vintage themes yet still has the elegance you expect. Vintage-inspired wedding cakes like these have retro flair, beautiful decorative elements, and vibrant colors that stand out from a traditional pure white cake!

Kids get to have all the fun…It’s okay if they have a Hulk, Mario, or princess party. But adults look at you funny if you want one…Or do they? Maybe we all yearn for an excuse to get silly and dress up as Spiderman or Ella! Throw an event using a kids’ party theme! For example, you can find inspiration from Pinterest party ideas for unicorn parties and superhero parties for adults!

Once the lights go out it’s time to bring a few of your own! Throw a blacklight party where you can play games and socialize under the soft glow of neon decor. Black Lights also cause clothes with the right shades to put off a soft glow so be sure everyone dresses appropriately! A neon party like this demands a venue to match the occasion. Look to Peerspace for party spots like this art deco venue in Central Los Angeles, CA, with four floors, including a high-tech nightclub!

Birthdays should be special occasions for every member of the family, no matter how many legs they have. Don’t forget about the furriest of your family and throw a dog birthday party! Bake a dog-friendly birthday cake, dress up in a dog costume for solidarity, or take them on an all-you-can-sniff walk! Don’t forget to invite a few of their friends as well as their owners.

Some of our favorite decoration ideas include DIY crafts like homemade paper ornaments. You can have these made in advance for a fraction of what you’d pay for store-bought decor. Or you can make crafting these decorative items part of the fun. Once made, guests can hang them wherever they like!  

14. Choose finger food that stands out

From wedding receptions to cocktail parties, finger food is what many party planners opt for. It’s easy to make and offers a quick bite versus plates of food that take up a lot more party time. We think you should mix in traditional finger foods like antipasto skewers with more unique options like fried mac n’ cheese balls! Check out this Pinterest list of the best finger foods to get your menu planning started!

15. Choose crafts as the party theme

Have you ever been invited to an arts and crafts party? From painting pre-fired pottery to making paper lanterns, a craft party is a great way to bring friends together if you don’t have anything specific to celebrate. That doesn’t mean you can’t make crafts a part of a special event, however. Paint-and-sip events are a fun way to make memorable keepsakes as part of a wedding reception, bachelorette night, or graduation party!

16. Try some unique wedding reception ideas

A wedding reception should be as unique as your marriage and it should follow the theme you’ve set. Did you have a rustic wedding ceremony set in a venue to match? Then why not have a reception with an equally rustic menu, countryside elements, and decorations? Check out these unique wedding reception ideas from Pinterest to get you started!
